Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows various digital devices to connect and exchange information over short distances without cables. It uses short-wavelength radio transmissions in the industrial, scientific and medical radio bands to facilitate connections between devices like mobile phones, headphones, laptops and printers. Key benefits of Bluetooth include its global acceptance, ability to connect a wide range of devices easily, secure connections, and low power consumption. It works by creating personal area networks between devices within about 30 feet of each other.

Bluetooth is the name of a new technology
that is now becoming commercially available
.it promise to change significantly the way
we use machines. Bluetooth is a global
defact standard for wireless connectivity.
Based on a low- cost, short-range radio link,
Bluetooth cuts the cords that used to tie up
digital devices.bluetooh technology allows
for replacement of the many
proprietarycables that connect one device to
another with one universal short-range
radio link.

4. Bluetooth HistoryBluetooth History
• Began as a private development effort at
Ericssion in 1994
• 5 companies joined to form the Bluetooth Special
interest Group (SIG) in 1998
• First Specification released in july 1999
• Current specification is version 1.1

6. Bluetooth is the name of a wireless technology
standard for connecting devices, set to replace
cables. It uses radio frequencies in the 2.45 GHz
range to transmit information over short
distances of generally 33 feet (10 meters) or
less. By embedding a Bluetooth chip and
receiver into products, cables that would
normally carry the signal can be eliminated
WHAT IS BLUETOOTH

7. WHAT DISADVANTAGE IT OVERCOMEWHAT DISADVANTAGE IT OVERCOME:-:-
One wireless standard that is already familiar to many
is IrDA or infrared. Infrared uses pulses of non-visible
light to communicate between two devices, such as a
remote control to a television or DVD player
One drawback of IrDA is that there must be a clear line
of sight between the two devices, and the other
disadvantage is that IrDA normally only operates
between two devices at a time. An infrared remote
control unit cannot communicate with the DVD player
while it is signaling the TV
Bluetooth overcomes these limitations by using radio
waves to send information in packet bursts. The bursts
can be sent to any device within ‘earshot’ allowing
communication with several devices at once.

8. • Bluetooth devices in the house are always
communicating with one another as long as they are
powered on. Each device sends out a signal, received
by the other devices that are sending out their own
signals. The devices scan all signals to see if any are
addressing it. In this way, Bluetooth creates a
personal-area network (PAN) in the home and the
user is not required to do anything special to get the
devices to speak to one another. They operate in a
perpetual interactive mode by default.
•For example, let’s assume you are using your cell
phone and headset while you copy a DVD from your
entertainment center to your desktop -- meanwhile your
digital camera is offloading its contents to your laptop.
The Bluetooth devices that have business with one
another will initiate their own separate PAN (also called a
piconet) and synchronize a random hopping scheme to
create interference-free communications. Known as
spread-spectrum frequency hopping

9. • The devices will jump among 79 random frequencies
within a specified range, changing about 1,600 times
per second in perfect unison. The likelihood that a
device in another PAN will be using the same frequency
at the same time is minute. Hence several individual
PANs or piconets can operate in the house without
interfering with one another. Each piconet can have 1
master and up to 7 slave devices. Future versions may
allow linked piconets called scatter nets.
The maximum bandwidth for any single channel or
frequency is 1 megabyte per second (1Mbps), while
individual packets range up to 2,745 bits. There are
currently three flavors or classifications of Bluetooth
devices, relative to transmitting range. As the range
is increased the signal used in the respective
classification is also stronger. Note that Class
3devices are comparatively rare.

10. A collection of devices connected in
an ad hoc fashion.
One unit will act as a master and the
others as slaves for the duration of the
piconet connection.
Master sets the clock and hopping
pattern.
Each piconet has a unique hopping
pattern/ID
Each master can connect to 7
simultaneous or 200+ inactive
(parked) slaves per piconet

Operates in the 2.4 GHz band at a data rate of 720Kb/s.
Uses Frequency Hopping (FH) spread spectrum,
which divides the frequency band into a number of
channels (2.402 - 2.480 GHz yielding 79 channels).
Radio transceivers hop from one channel to another in a
pseudo-random fashion, determined by the master.
Supports up to 8 devices in a piconet (1 master and 7
slaves).
Piconets can combine to form scatternets.

15. How Bluetooth Technology Works
Bluetooth is a high-speed, low-power microwave
wireless link technology, designed to connect
phones, laptops, PDAs and other portable
equipment together with little or no work by the
user .
Unlike infra-red, Bluetooth does not require line-
of-sight positioning of connected units.
The technology uses modifications of existing
wireless LAN techniques but is most notable for
its small size and low cost.
The current prototype circuits are contained on a
circuit board 0.9cm square, with a much smaller
single chip version in development. The cost of
the device is expected to fall very fast, from $20
initially to $5 in a year or two

16. When one Bluetooth product comes within range of
another, (this can be set to between 10cm and 100m)
they automatically exchange address and capability
details.The protocols will handle both voice and data,
with a very flexible network topography
This technology achieves its goal by embedding tiny,
inexpensive, short-range transceivers into the
electronic devices that are available today. The radio
operates on the globally-available unlicensed radio
band, 2.45 GHz and supports data speeds of up to
721 Kbps, as well as three voice channels
For instance in a PC they can be built in as a PC card
or externally attached via the USB port.

17. Each device has a unique 48-bit address from the
IEEE 802 standard. Connections can be point-to-
point or multipoint. The maximum range is 10
meters but can be extended to 100 meters by
increasing the power. Bluetooth devices are
protected from radio interference by changing their
frequencies arbitrarily upto a maximum of 1600
times a second,
The Bluetooth specification targets power
consumption of the device from a "hold" mode
consuming 30 micro amps to the active transmitting
range of 8-30 milliamps (or less than 1/10th of a
watt). The radio chip consumers only 0.3mA in
standby mode, which is less than 3 % of the power
used by a standard mobile phone. The chips also have
excellent power-saving features, as they will
automatically shift to a low-power mode as soon as
traffic volume lessens or stops.Bluetooth devices are
classified according to three different power classes,
as shown in the following table.

18. Power Class Maximum Output Power
1 100 mW (20 dBm)
2 2.5 mW (4 dBm)
3 1 mW (0 dBm)
The Bluetooth radio transmissions will conform to
the safety standards required by the countries
where the technology will be used with respect to
the affects of radio transmissions on the human
body. Emissions from Bluetooth enabled devices
will be no greater than emissions from industry-
standard cordless phones. The Bluetooth module
will not interfere or cause harm to public or private
telecommunications network.

19. • Besides Bluetooth many other technologies exist like IrDA,
Home RF (SWAP) that provide similar or related services.
A quick glance into their scope and properties would help
putting all of these into perspective. Lets look at the
features of Bluetooth first (for the sake of comparison)

available
